Rolls Royce - The Ultimate Experience

We have selected from amongst our very best chauffeurs and trained them specifically on delivering the perfect Rolls Royce experience. Equipped with the theatre package, our guests are able to watch TV, view DVD's, listen to satellite radio or just sit back and let the day's anxieties slip away as our expert chauffeurs transfer you with ease to your destination.

Specifications

It has a 6.75 L, 48-valve, V12 engine that produces 453 hp and 531 ft/lbs of torque. The engine is derived from BMW's existing V12 powerplant. It is 63 in. tall, 74.8 in. wide, 228 in. long, and weighs 5478 lbs. The body of the car is built on an aluminum space frame and the Phantom can accelerate to 62 mph in 5.7 seconds.

Design

Although some 15 percent of components are shared with other BMW models such as the BMW 7 Series, the Phantom retains the traditional Rolls-Royce design cues. The aluminum spaceframe body is built in a BMW plant in Dingolfing, Germany and the V12 engine in Munich. Final assembly, as well as all wood and leather work, for each customer's individual specification is at a purpose built plant in Goodwood, West Sussex, England. The Goodwood plant contains only two robots to paint the spaceframe body; all other work is done by hand, in keeping with the Rolls-Royce tradition.

Novel features

Instead of a tachometer, the car has a power reserve dial indicating how much of the engine's power is left available to the driver.
The rear doors are rear-hinged, a style commonly referred to as suicide doors, but called 'coach doors' by Rolls-Royce. Because of the rear-seating position in relation to the rear inner-door handles, buttons are mounted on both C-pillars which operate hydraulic motors in order to close the rear doors. An electronic lock prevents the doors from being accidentally opened when moving.
The traditional Spirit of Ecstasy ornament has an electronic retraction mechanism to prevent theft and protect pedestrians in the event of an accident. It may also be retracted by the driver at the touch of a button.
The 'RR' logos on each of the wheel hubs are independent bezels in order to always remain upright while the wheel is rotating.
